Well, hello everyone. I sure didnt mean to keep anyone in suspense, but, obviously I have been busy, and right after bid day, I came home to my parent's for the weekend because I havent seen my family in FOREVER. So saturday, I went to pick up my bid, to see:
The ladies of the Chi Theta Chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority would like to extend this bid to you. (or something like that)!!! I was happier than I thought I would be. I was one of the first girls to pick up my bid, so when I went to go meet the president and recruitment chair (my nieghbor next door, and my neighbor across the hall, hehe) they were extatic to see me as the first girl to go AOPi of the morning. I got my tshirt and tiarra and roses and stuff, and we waited for all the other new members of AOPi to get to the room. ONce a few more girls came, we started learning cheers immediately, because all of the sororities were next door to each other in rooms in the UC, and we had to beat each other out. It was soooooo fun. The, once all of the bids were handed out, and all of the new members were with thier new presidents and recruitment chairs, we went to the Spirit pit to find out our rho chis. All of hte rho chis, one by one took off thier sweaters to reveal thier letters, and we would go up and give them a hug. but then, we got a big surprise, they all started being like, wait, these arent my letters, yeah, i am missing some, and stuff like that. So then, they had a little strip show to reveal thier real letters and we ran to hug our REAL returning rho chis to our sororities. Then, we all went upstairs to the sorority floor to see all of the rest of the sisters lining hte halls cheering us on. When some of the girls saw me, they were soooo happy, and they RAN out of line to give me a hug, and a lot of girls cried and said how glad they were to have me as a sister, and how nervous they were that I might go DZ. I am SO glad that I didnt, now. ONe, because they must have known (subconcisiously or not) that the AOPis loved me and wanted me so badly, so I felt so good that they were just so nice to me. Then, we took a fire truck around town cheering and singing the new AOPi songs we learned. Then we went to a picnic anc played games, then we went skating, and it was just a blast. There are 20 girls (quota was 25) in my pledge class and they are 20 of the greatest girls I have ever met (about three of them already live on the floor with me), so we are going to have COB right after this week, so I am really excited to see if I get any MORE sisters. Also, the Phi Sigs are throwing a party for the new pledge class on Monday (monday nights and wed nights are party nights here) so I cannot even WAIT to get back to school to meet some of the fraternity men!! Thanks everyone for cheering me on, I couldnt be happier!!!!!!!
